Product Description
RP94 "The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a gorgeous expression that will appeal to those who adore the softer and spicier side of Sangiovese. Bold cherry and blackberry stand to immediate attention with secondary aromas of tobacco, cedar and cinnamon in quick succession. The wine delivers more in terms of boldness and power than it does complexity but the overall effect works beautifully considering the quality of fruit in 2010. The style is upfront and bold with deep layers of richness and opulence. The wine is appropriate for medium-term consumption and would pair beautifully with stewed meats." ML for TWA Feb 2015
WS93 "A tightly woven, firmly structured Brunello, this evokes cherry, leather, tobacco and briar aromas and flavors. Lean and athletic, with energy and fine length. Needs time to absorb the tannins. Best from 2019 through 2035." BS for WS June 2015
Monica Larner for RobertParker.com writes, "Sandro Chia's Castello Romitorio is constantly thinking up new wines and new ways of expressing Sangiovese. The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Filo di Seta is the winery's newest addition and shows a sophisticated winemaking style that prizes oak-forward intensity with toasted vanilla notes and profound softness."
